Bedot Bets Wang Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yuanting Wang raised to 8,000 first to act and was called by Reece Bedot on the button and the player in the big blind.

Action checked to Wang on the K♥6♦4♣ flop and he continued for 18,000. Only Bedot called.

Both players checked on the 4♠ turn and Wang checked a final time after the K♣ came on the river. Bedot put approximately 40,000 into the middle and Wang quickly let his hand go.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Gavin Ogilvy raised to 10,000 and was three-bet to 26,000 by Pawaan Bansal in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Ogilvy, who called.

Both players checked on the 2♠J♠4♣ flop and then Ogilvy led out for 18,000 on the A♦ turn. Bansal called.

The K♣ completed the board and Ogilvy sized up for a 25,000 bet — sending Bansal into the tank.

After several minutes, Bansal folded and Ogilvy dragged the pot.

"I have no idea what you had." Bansal said.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nelson Dong opened to 12,000 from early position and was called by David Pham from directly behind and Robert Spano in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Spano checked to Dong, who continued for 13,000 on the 3♦2♣J♠ flop. Pham folded, but Spano called.

The dealer brought the 8♠ on the turn and Spano checked again — prompting a 45,000 bet from Dong. Spano again called.

Spano checked a final time on the 9♦ river, but Dong wasn't done and fired 105,000 into the middle. Spano pondered a bit before saying "Nice hand," and sending his cards into the muck.

Dong appears to be the current leader with just over 700,000 in chips.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Zac Vigar called from the small blind and Andrew White raised to 21,000 from the big blind. Vigar called.

Both players checked on the 3♣Q♠5♦ flop and Vigar took the initiative with a 20,000 bet on the 9♣ turn. White called.

Vigar sized down for a 9,000 bet after the 9♠ river paired the board and White quickly called.

Vigar tabled Q♣10♣ for queens-up and White send his hand into the muck.
